Naked foreign tourist causes outrage at Hin Ta Rock in Koh Samui

Samui residents are sharpening their pitchforks and have already petitioned the police to track down a naked foreign woman who was pictured hugging Hin Ta rock, which many residents consider to be sacred and a symbol of both Koh Samui and Surat Thani.

The photos of the currently unidentified foreigner were posted online showing her in a state of undress hugging the rock which resembles a phallus, the photos were uploaded to a local Facebook page yesterday.

People in the area have called on police to arrest the foreign woman for disrespectful behavior which might have angered the spirit of Hin Ta.

Locals in the area fearful of the spirit have asked police to track down the woman and make her apologize in front of the shrine.

There have been several instances of foreign tourists behaving badly at temples and other sacred spots over the past couple of months leaving many to petition authorities for better policing of tourists attending such sites to prevent damage or disrespectful behavior.
